500ml bottle from some very kind colleagues at work. Pours a clear golden colour with a thickish white head. Good herby hoppy aroma. Yes a decent German pilsner, far more hoppy than usual. Clean body that is a little dull but fine and does its job. The good flowery herby finish is appealing. In fact the whole beer is appealing. Yes the body is a little light and watery, but that is made up for by the hops. Lovely.

I finally got my hands on this one, in a small grocery in Berlin. Doppelt gehopft! The regular Warsteiner, to me, tastes under-hopped, even relative to other German beers, subdued and not bitter enough, so this one didn’t taste hoppy by US standards (nothing like an IPA or even most APA’s), the level of hops actually tasted more balanced to me. Good, and much better than the default Warsteiner, but I still prefer most German or Czech pilsners to this one.
